Hello Alumni!
Welcome to the final edition of the alumni e-newsletter for 2010. This latest jam packed edition features all the latest news and events which have taken place since the last e-newsletter. We will also be looking forward to the final events of the year and take a peek at what's in store for 2011.
To our summer 2010 graduates, we hope you are enjoying your first few months as a graduate and you are on the way to doing what you want to do. Don't forget that we want to stay in touch with you and hope you will keep us up to date with what you are doing. Have you gone on to securing your dream job?

To all our other members, please keep us up to date with your stories so we can feature you on our Where Are You Now pages in the Bridge magazine and online.
